Anyway, I'm participating for the fun only, so please don't enter me in the drawing. Both prizes are awesome, but I think someone else will enjoy them more than I would. I don't have pierced ears and know few people that wear long earrings, so I already have my own creations piling up here and your beauties would be wasted on me. And while I would love to own one of those adorable paintings, I'm not altogether comfortable with the sonnet quoted on this particular one, for personal reasons. I hope that doesn't sound ungrateful - as far as I am concerned, I have already won all I need and more than I expected (inspiration, motivation and many nice words about my work). And I'm looking forward to the next challenge!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-2991973105195477692009-12-06T15:07:41.119-06:002009-12-06T15:07:41.119-06:00Oh...I missed this challenge....what a shame!

I've been ogling the local hardware stores because I weirdly like hardware stores. But, I don't have home improvement projects and so haven't indulged my curiosity. But, now that you've challenged me on the subject, I'm going to include the hardware challenge in my year-long creative experimentation spree. I won't be able to participate in this weeks challenge as I don't have enough time...but I'll be sure to post and link back to this post when I get around to it.
